World Zombie Day

Get ready to play dead.

Ok, World Zombie day (coming up on October 26th) isn’t just about playing dead…it’s about feeding the hungry. Uh, perhaps I should clarify that. World Zombie Day is about having a deadly fun time, as pretend zombies, for a good cause.

Pennyslvania is proud of its Zombie heritage (think iconic films Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, both filmed in Pennsylvania). In fact, Pittsburg has become the hub and official World Zombie Day organizer and every year they host the Zombie Fest.

This year on Friday, October 24th, there will be a Zombie Masquerade Ball. On Saturday, October 25th there’s a sort of “Zombie Com” with horror writers, vendors and activities. And Sunday, of course, is the world famous Zombie Walk in which participants bring cans of non-perishable food items for the Greater Pittsburg Food Bank.

Here’s a promotional trailer just for fun:
